We're back on our normal schedule tonight, 7-8 p.m. PT at LVRocks.Com, for our live show with "America's Got Talent" host Jerry Springer chatting about the show's potential influence on Las Vegas, how his own public image has changed over the years and why he's unrepentant about the trash-TV show that made him a star. Springer emcees an "America's Got Talent" finalists concert at the MGM Grand on Friday.

Plus, hear the WHOLE nasty comment about Las Vegas from the organizer of a eco-friendly Berkeley-to-Vegas road race that concluded here yesterday. Part of the quote is in my New York Times piece today, which can be found here.

As I said, join us live at LVRocks.Com for the chat and live show or pick up the podcast in the next day or so!
